cnbc ‘freaking out’ over low ratings.

This is why I switched from cnbc to Bloomberg: it's Sunday evening and futures are down 20 handles from Friday's close. Looking for news, I turn to Bloomberg and see the crawl with headlines coming out of Europe, along with live futures quotes (which they provide 24/7). What's on cnbc? A fricking infomercial, and nothing but more pre-recorded programming scheduled 'til probably 2, 3am ET. At 7pm Bloomie starts live commentary from Asia, while cnbc has a home workout plan infomercial.

Just shows you where the focus is for each of these 2 stations.

at night you need to switch to cnbw the markets are freaked by the French election. They will be talking about it all night. I'm a nice guy and I like all people from all different cultures, but I can only take so much of those foreign accents, especially when the British call Barack Obama Baraaaaack Obamer.

Like do they call bock beer back beer?

Johanne Sebastion Back?
 
I was watching a British cooking show and I had to turn it off. They kept calling shish kabobs shish kababs with a short a. I mean I know they are spelled shish kababs, but it's prounounced shish kabobs. It is really annoying.

Really down 20 handles? Great. Had shit-load of puts Friday afternoon, sold half.
 
Yeah you gotta watch CNBC World for evening/early morning futures/fx, switch over to regular CNBC at 4am for worldwide exchange. Or, just stay on bloomberg all night.

Yep. Monitor it on Bloomberg all night if you have basic cable. Like I said, they show live futures 24/7.

To Oldtime - I don't get cnbcw, but thanks for the tip.
